Ultimate Tomahawk Steak

Ingredients

• 3.5 pounds tomahawk rib eye steak
• 1.5 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2.5 teaspoons ground black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Remove steak from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes to an hour before cooking.

2. 2

   Preheat the grill to medium-high, 400 to 450 degrees F (200 to 230 degrees C). Sprinkle steak evenly and liberally on all sides with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Lightly coat grill grates with oil or grilling spray. Place steak on hot grates, and grill, undisturbed, until it releases easily from the grates, about 4 minutes. Flip, and repeat on the other side. Continue grilling, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of steak registers 125 degrees F (52 degrees C), 30 to 40 minutes.

4. 4

   Transfer steak to a cutting board; let rest 15 minutes. Run a knife along the inside edge of the bone to remove steak from the bone in 1 piece; slice against the grain to serve.
